Organizers behind Hanover Day, a 7-year-old annual celebration of town pride and culture, are again extending the revelry into the nighttime hours with an evening fireworks display.

The year’s Hanover Day will be held Saturday.

The fireworks, which were introduced last year after the town committed $10,000, are part of a schedule of evening activities that include live musical performances and food served by a variety of food trucks and vendors.

Christopher Haraden, a member of the Hanover Cultural Council, said revelers are invited to bring picnic blankets down to Sylvester Field, also known as B. Everett Hall Field, and enjoy food from vendors while waiting for fireworks to start at 9 p.m.

“We’re trying to make it a daylong event, but we know people are definitely going to come and go,” Haraden said. “Once we get to the afternoon, we’re hoping people will come earlier.”

The day will kick off at 10 a.m. with remote-controlled model car racing, mural painting, animal petting and many other activities for children and adults. New this year are a variety of athletic events, including a three-on-three basketball tournament and a chance to meet former Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield.

The event also features two live performance stages, which will feature a variety of musical acts, martial arts demonstrations and a puppet show, and a craft fair with more than 150 vendors and artisans interspersed by booths hosted by Hanover civic organizations.

Proceeds from the event go to the Hanover Cultural Council, which organizes a variety of programs in town throughout the year.
